The German Post of the GDR honors this anniversary with three special values, which also reflect three chapters of stamp history. 110 pfennig - the first GDR stamp 1949 Two days after the founding of the GDR, ie on October 9, 1949, the first postal stamp of the young state appeared. It was dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) and shows Earth globe and carrier pigeon with a broadcast in the beak.
